Translation Bookmarklets

These bookmarklets translate either the entire current page you are
visiting or a bit of text that you have selected on the page.
We had translation bookmarklets available here for two services;
those using Google's translation service and those using Yahoo's
(formerly Altavista's) Babel Fish translation service, but Yahoo
has been discontinued.
Using bookmarklets avoids the need to install toolbars but still allows
you to translate a page with one click.

To install a bookmarklet simply "right-click" on a link and save it as
a bookmark (or add to favorites) or drag it to your bookmarks folder.
You can then run the bookmarklet when visiting any page, by
clicking on the bookmark, or by selecting a bit of text that you want
to translate and clicking on the bookmark.
The translation is opened in a new tab or window.

This first bookmarklet is useful for returning to the original page
from a translation.

unTranslate Use this bookmarklet to return to the original untranslated page when viewing a translated page on Google Translate or Babel Fish.

Using Google Translate

Google Translate autodetects the language of a page and translates it into
the language of your choice.
